A few more games and problems are starting to show. There is quite a bit of slowdown when the action gets going, and the servers are 16 a side, but the squads are 5 man squads. Anybody see the problem with that

Interestingly, or not depending on your point of view, but if you aren't interested, why are you reading this thread? I think Hardline suffers from being too much of a Battlefield game. Would I pay full price for it on release? As it currently stands, no. It really feels like BF DLC rather than a game of its own. |

'Mods', I believe we used to call them  From the beta reviews I've read and the videos I've watched, there's not enough going on here to justify a purchase as a BF4 DLC, let alone a standalone game - however there's still time for them to add in more game modes and content, and let's face it, it needs them. |

€70 for a glorified mod, where do I sign? Performance not stellar on PS4 either, sub BF-4 at the moment, http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digit ... e-analysis TBH I think I'll be off the BF treadmill for the next 'proper' BF game anyway, BF4 really didn't do anything that BF3 didn't do the same or better IMO, and I'm fed up with the avalanche of DLC too. I think it'd take BF2143 to tweak my interest in this franchise again. Attachment: bastadoo.JPG

I said I'd be off the BF treadmill, which means I won't be paying top dollar at launch and wading through the launch issues, adjusting to the balancing and the patching in the early days, trying to keep up with the DLC as it's shovelled out, and so on. You can read that as 'I won't be buying it ever' if you want to, but that's not what the words actually say. Considering that I've owned just about every BF game ever, the idea that I'd miss one completely is pretty unlikely. |

The best way to get off the treadmill of something would be not get involved at all in the first place; and with the context of the rest of that post it's easy to read it as you saying you weren't going to buy it at all, no matter what you thought you were saying. Anyway, it was supposed to just be a light-hearted comment so let's forget it shall we? |

Sorry old chap didn't mean to come over arsey about it, slightly crossed wires there I take your point about how it could be read too, but the intended meaning was 'not going to jump in at launch for the next one' (unless it's BF2143 ).

We have now officially fucked this game off and returned 100% to Battlefield 3. It was a bit 50/50 for a while but now everyone is in agreement that BF3 is the better game, and our server is permanently on BF3 map rotations. Better maps. Better modes. Better netcode. Less glitchy. Rather unscientifically it 'feels' better. (We've all agreed that there's almost like a random element in BF4 as to whether you'll get a kill even when you feel like you've properly got an enemy bang to rights, whereas in BF3 you can just 'feel' when you've got the shot right before the game confirms the kill.) Plus, Team Deathmatch on Noshahr Canals with the DAO-12, it doesn't get better than that for an end-of-evening blast. Bye bye BF4, and I doubt any of us will be jumping straight in with the next Battlefield game. |

BF4 is fixed! Basically DICE have gone back to a lot of the BF3 netcode and suchlike, and put a load of options into the menus so you can make it 'feel' like BF3 did. We put a couple of hours in last night and all agreed it's a much better game. DICE made the changes a fair few weeks ago (there was a reasonably sizeable write-up at Eurogamer), but we got so fucked off with BF4 it's taken us this long to get round to having a session on it again. Recommended if you've not played for a while! |

The last DLC has dropped... and it's pretty good fun. Played a few hours last night and got my ass kicked as usual in terms of K/D, but still finished top 3 a couple of times due to doing the novel thing of playing the objective No lag, no glitches, it seems to be running ok. Only took them a year to get it right. |

Battlefield Hardline Beta is up again till the end of the week, and annoyingly it's actually pretty good fun. It has 3 modes. Heist which was the beta mode last time and is the same as it was. Conquest, which is standard battlefield conquest, but hardline has smaller maps and more people, 20v20 on a small map, so it's a bit more frantic. The other mode in the beta is Hotwire, which is a lot of fun. Same as conquest, but the flags are vehicles and you capture them by getting them above a certain speed. It helps that small arms do damage to vehicles now, so even if your on foot with only a handgun, you can still play a part. It'[s not a BF4 replacement, it's a lot smaller scale than that, it feels more like a Battlefield version of COD, which is no bad thing. |

The primary issue I've got with it is the €70 they're asking, one to grab in an inevitable future sale I think. A mate is kicking the beta around and I expect reportage from him tomorrow. |

Unfortunately, having played a few more rounds, the netcode is still just as terrible as always. Get on a bad server and you can shoot people in the head at point blank range, twice, with the hits registering on screen, and they'll still kill you and show as having 100 life left. Ah well... |

Very non-plussed beta report from my chum. Didn't find much of anything to like about it, maps too small, too many players, action chaotic and unfocused, cars handle like shit, incongruous setting, graphics no better than BF3/4. Could see some potential with smaller teams playing tactically, but fundamentally unimpressed at this stage. So that'll be Grid2 and BF3/4 tomorrow, then. |

Battlefield 4 has continued to get free DLC updates over the course of 2015 (well I think they're free, we've all got the Premium edition so maybe they come with that, I don't know) - which in the main have been very good. There are reworkings of maps from BF2 and BF3, in the case of the BF2 maps it's amazing to play them again in modern-o-vision with the destructible Frostbite engine, there are also Community maps which I guess is a nice way of saying that DICE got people to make stuff for them and paid them no money. The hacking is somewhat ridiculous though, you need to get on a server running Fairfight on the backend, and preferably a decent clan server with admins around - otherwise it can get silly. (Consoles won't have this problem though.) Overall though still a very enjoyable game (ever since they got the basic game fixed, which took about a year.....), and it's doing us very well for our weekly blast. We've also rented a mega-cheap private, unranked server so we can play 2v2 or 3v3 with our favourite maps/modes/rules without interruptions, which costs about a fiver a month which is daft cheap. (From a company called i3D.net, I don't know much about it, one of the other chaps sorted it out for us.) This a cheap game now (the PC Premium version is currently £15 on origin and I guess it's had similar price cuts on console too) - you could do a lot worse for FPS shenanigans IMO. |
